Gotta leave, but subbed and I'm leaving you on in my computer until I get home.

They're usually a nightmare and reading them I always feel like even just organizing them better would improve them a bit.
I always shout out Daybreak's rulebook because it's one of the best I've read recently, but it's still not perfect.

Maybe he dyes his moustache.

Board game John Company on a table. Trays with cardboard components. A map of India. A track of points. A track of money. Orange towers with flags on top. Player components in different colors.

First game of John Company 2nd Edition by @wehrlegig.games and I feel like my brain must've grown a little bit. Or it shrunk a lot.

The bag building makes me want to play this so much, haven't played many games with that mechanism.

SETI board game on the table. There's cards, player boards, a main board that resembles the Milky Way and more cardboard and plastic.

First play of SETI (finally).
I feel like I'll like it more on the second play because my opponents are much more experienced.

Made a couple of scripts for the podcast, a full unboxing, and sent some emails.
Feeling productive is great.

3 videos, 3 bangers

This makes me feel things. Hype, for one.

Chef's kiss

I saw Zenith the last day of Gen Con, when my bag was already filled with some other stuff, but it seemed really cool as far as I could see.

A screenshot of CGE’s instagram page: “With the above in mind, and after many heartfelt and vital discussions both internally and with members of the affected community, we have decided to donate 100% of the profit from this game to appropriate charitable organizations. We will ensure that an amount equal to our greater than the fee paid to license this product will go directly to organizations that provide support for the trans community. We evaluate profits and make charitable-giving decisions each December, and we will continue using this annual process to direct the games profits. We will listen to recommendations from the community to help guide our choices of organizations that provide support for the trans community. Or goal is to select those that offer direct, practical help to people in need — for example, services similar to the emergency hotline that was recently discontinued.”

I’m doing victory laps in my kitchen right now!!!! 💃🏼

CGE just announced they are going to be giving away 100% of the profit from their Harry Potter game to pro-trans charities!!

Having to explain to my fellow Spanish content creators why the Devir and CGE fuckups ARE fuckups, huge ones too, wasn't in ny bingo card for the day.

They also want you to care about their characters and their relationships, but don't give you a reason to?
Like the father-son chat where they kind of hug was meant to be... touching? It just felt out of place.

Primer haul de Gen Con y espero que el primero de muchos.

Gen Con has been one of the best weeks of my life and I don't want to go back home.

Yeah, he said he'll be playing.

Can't DM, but would love to check the games out and chat.

Primera vez en Gen Con, tengo emoción y miedo a partes iguales.

Can't DM you, but I am interested.

Debo traducir más de 1,500 subtítulos de una entrevista y apenas voy en el 67.
Tengo miedo.

Love how far a meme born in my country has gotten.
Especially since now it advocates for podcasts.

Hoy fue mi primera partida de D&D del año (la primera en dos meses) y creo que por fin vuelvo a sentir la magia que no sentía hace muuuuucho con el juego.
Fluyó, me reí y los dejé en un cliffhanger, como siempre.

Juego de mesa Apiary sobre una mesa. Tiene un tablero, losetas hexagonales, recursos como agua, polen, fibra, cera y miel.

Hace unos seis meses no jugaba Apiary, pero es uno de mis juegos favoritos de worker placement con sus torpezas y todo.

Por fin volví a mi LFGS de Magic: the Gathering a jugar torneito de Commander de viernes.
Extrañaba esto así me hayan asesinado en la 6 ronda.
